Embroidery is Driving Me Mad

For Embroidery Club I stitched out the 12 blocks of the Yuletide Joy pattern, a really cute Christmas wallhanging. Since I wasn't real sure what I was doing, I used scrap fabrics for my blocks. They turned out so cute that I decided to purchase lots of Christmas fabric and re-do the blocks in those fabrics. I'd already practiced on the blocks and I thought this would be an easy weekend project. In fact, I thought I'd have the blocks stitched out by early this afternoon and then this evening I'd put the borders on and get the blocks all laid out. Ha. Maybe I should explain that what I mean by this afternoon and evening is SUNDAY, which at this point has given way to Monday and I'm frustrated and NOT done with the stitch-outs. I've done one block twice because I wasn't happy with the first one, and I have 2 more blocks that have major problems and will have to be stitched again. I have 9 of the 12 stitched out; not at all where I wanted to be at this point. In fact, where I want to be right now is in bed, so I guess I'll head there and confront my frustrations tomorrow.
